Does anyone out there have a list of companies that own/operate the
various 10XXX codes? The question was raised as to if someone could
commit toll fraud by dialing a 10XXX that did not exist, or that had
no connections in that city/state, and I was curious as to the
validity of this idea.
Thanks,

[Moderator's Note: The only 10xxx codes allowed by your local telco
switch will be those having some recognized and acceptable destination
by your telco. And if your telco *does* have contact with some LD
carrier via 10xxx then your telco is required by law to provide the LD
carrier with the billing name and address associated with the line
used to place the call, even if it is a non-pub number. Any single
10xxx code will only work if your local telco switch authorizes it.
All 10xxx codes are not in service from every switch by default.
Listings of all known 10xxx codes are in the Telecom Archives, and
available by anonymous ftp from lcs.mit.edu. PAT]
